READJUSTMENT
By ALICE WEBBER.
Ann Morgun wns trying to get hold
of herself and finding it the hardest
proposition she hud ever attempted. It
wu a struggle to reach out for com
mon sense lifter the blind unreason of
effect I nu, and there was nothing to help
except the newness of the life about
her. It was as If vhe hud gone back
to the very beginning of things. In a
way she hud. She und her father were
living outside a French village In a
weutlier-hetiten house ucross the bor
der from New Bruiwwlck, wltb a cook
stove, two beds, u rough table and a
couple of chulrs. Her father wus like
a boy In this environment and did the
cooking, while Ann made a determined
effort to find a glimmer of light, other
wise called sanity, In the darkness that
encompassed her. '
When she reuched St- Attegat, dur
ing tbe early days of June, she bad
been too Indifferent to care for the
qunlntness of ber surroundings. Her
futher had been alurmed about ber
health, and the fumlly physician, un
able to discover cause fur her Illness,
had sent her where be knew the air
was sweet and pure.
As she sat listless under the shadow
of a sugnr maple, Ann thought of his
words. She hud honestly tried to bring
herself Into touch with the life about
her, but heulth was us yet too fur away
for her to have any other feeling thun
one of Indifference.
Her life was .primitive In the ex
treme. She was miles from a rail
road and the mull came but once a
month. She and her futher were de
pendent upon a neighbor, Mr. Chandler,
for that and he hud brought It for the
first time that evening. There were
no letters. She had expected none, but
the longing of the spirit cannot always
be subjected to pride und there were
times, like the present, when It seemed
as If nothing muttered but the sight
of the man she cared for. And she
bad given him up. The cruelty of It
was that she had learned she was hut
the means to an end, hud stumbled
upon the knowledge within a week of
her wedding day.
In the Corcoran art gnllery she luid
paused beside the entrance to one of
the rooms when the murmur of voices
caught and held her atteutlon.
' "No, I do not love her," she heard.
"Fortunntely I am Interested In no
other woman, else It might go hnrd
with me. Her futher Is wealthy. She
Is rich In ber own right nmf I will be
able to gratify ambitions hitherto mere
ly 1 renins." As ho finished speaking
two men came face tq face with Ann
and she looked directly Into the eyes
of the man she had expected to marry.
I'rlde came to her uld In her effort to
adjust herself to her new outlook upon
life, but In the end she was bundled
off to St. Attlgat, and here she met
Mr. Chnndler, with whom ber futher
found congenial companionship. He
had a way of watching her that was
disconcerting, and this. In time, made
her conscious she wn not good to look
at She became oversensitive about
her lack of color and one day rum
maged through her trunk for her van
ity box and was chngrlned not to find
It
This Incident mnrked a change. Im
perceptibly the outdoor life was milk
ing a difference in Ann. She took
long walks and would stroll off for
hours alone. Due evening she did not
return. Chandler, with her father,
found her on the edge of the river
with a twisted ankle and dislocated
shoulder. She hud' slipped from the
rock where she hud been fishing, she
told them later.
When they discovered her Mr. Mor
gan promptly went to pieces. She wus
all he had, und If anything happened
to her he was of no more Use than u
baby. Mr. Chandler carried her home
with about as much feeling as if she
had been a bundle of rngs, she thought.
In the moment when a glimmer of ren
son made her try to recover her dignity
and slip from his urms. It was then
he gave her a little shake and told her
to He still.
Just the merest Jingle, but It sent
needles of flame all over her, and she
knew nothing more until she was on
her bed with the two bending over her.
Between . them she was made com
fortable; yet she wus not comfortable
In her mind. She could not under
stand the odd look In Mr. Chandler's
eyes when she hud fir si opened her
own, and now, after a month of Inac
tivity, she was still puzzled. She hud
not seen it since. He gave her under
stundlng and pleasant friendship, but
thut wus all.
And she had begun to care. The
thought troubled her. Was she lucking
In constancy that she could so soon
forget one mnn for another? But as
she looked bock upon those feverish
days, she told herself she had been In
love with love. Thnt, she knew, was
not the real thing, and she had discov
ered this, here In the midst of na
ture hud learned to distinguish be
tween the false and the true, and with
all her heart she prayed that the thing
thnt makes life perfect would come to
her.
And It came unexpectedly, ns so
often happens. She was alone, trying
for the first time to walk about the
house, clinging to whatever offered sup
port, when she heard footsteps. Turn
ing hastily, she saw Mr. Chandler
standing In the doorway with arms out
stretched. He suld no word and she
did not speak, but wltb shining eyes
and heightened color she limped
straight into them and hid her face
against his coat sleeve.
